A man was found shot to death in Nuevo late Thursday, Oct. 18, on a property that had “a large amount of marijuana,” the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said.

The man had not been publicly identified as of Friday night. He was found inside the house in the 22500 block of Porter Street.

Two men were seen running from the house after the shooting, which was reported about 10:35 p.m., a news release said. The release did not describe the men or the marijuana — whether it was in plant form or processed.

The Sheriff’s Department asks that anyone with information on the case call Investigator Barajas at 760-393-3522.
